2 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOOD ALLERGY AND A FOOD INTOLERANCE? FOOD ALLERGY A food allergy is an abnormal response or an adverse reaction to a food or food component that is generally harmless. This response/reaction involves the body s immune system. Food allergies can be very serious and/or life threatening. FOOD INTOLERANCE A food intolerance is an adverse reaction to a food because the body cannot adequately digest a portion of the offending food. This metabolic reaction to food does not involve the immune system. A food intolerance is not as serious as a food allergy. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 3
3 WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING A FOOD ALLERGY? Anyone can develop a food allergy. A family history of allergies increases the risk: If one parent has a food allergy, there is twice the risk. If both parents have a food allergy, the risk is four times. A family history of other kinds of allergies (such as asthma, hay fever, eczema) increases the risk of developing a food allergy. Food allergies can develop at any time, not just in childhood. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 4
4 INTERESTING FACTS Compared to years ago, 18% more children have been diagnosed with food allergies. In children, the number of diagnosed peanut allergies doubled over 5 years, from 1997 to Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 5
5 WHAT FOODS COMMONLY CAUSE ALLERGIES? Milk Eggs Wheat Soy Tree Nuts* Fish *Tree nuts may include cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios, almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and pine nuts. Shellfish Peanuts Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 6
6 WHAT ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF A FOOD ALLERGY? Skin Reactions Swelling or Itching of Lips and/or Mouth Itchy Eyes Hives Rash/Eczema - Redness of the Skin Digestive Tract Reactions Cramping Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Respiratory Reactions Sneezing Runny Nose Dry Cough Itching or Tightness in the Throat Shortness of Breath Wheezing/Asthma Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 7
7 WHAT ARE SEVERE SYMPTOMS OF A FOOD ALLERGY? Anaphylaxis Anaphylactic Reaction Swelling of Lips/Tongue Tightness in Throat (cannot get air throat feels like it is swelling shut) Breathing Difficulties Lowered Blood Pressure Unconsciousness Possible Death, if medical help isn t received Immediately call If a child needs assistance, call Then have someone call the child s parent while you provide assistance and comfort until medical care arrives. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 8
8 WHEN DO SYMPTOMS OF A FOOD ALLERGY USUALLY OCCUR? Symptoms usually occur within a few hours after the food is eaten, however, there can be a delayed reaction up to several days after the food is consumed. The severity of the reaction depends upon: How allergic the person is (how strong the immune system response is to the food). How much of the food the person ate. For example: 1/44,000 (a tiny amount) of a peanut kernel can cause an allergic reaction in a severely allergic person. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 9
9 WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF FOOD INTOLERANCE? Symptoms of food intolerance may resemble the symptoms of a food allergy. Common Foods That Can Cause Intolerance Include: Milk or Dairy Products such as Cheese, Ice Cream, or Yogurt Foods Containing Sulfites Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Food Additives Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 10
10 WHAT IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE? Lactose Intolerance The natural sugar in milk is called LACTOSE. Lactose intolerance is an adverse reaction because the body cannot digest milk or milk-based products. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of a digestive enzyme that is called LACTASE. The enzyme lactase is needed to help breakdown the natural sugar (lactose) in milk. People who are lactose intolerant do not have sufficient amounts of lactase, an enzyme, to process the natural sugar, lactose, in milk and milk-based products. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 11
11 WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE? Common Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance Include: Gas Bloating Abdominal Pain Symptoms of lactose intolerance may occur immediately or within several hours after drinking milk or eating milk-based products. People with lactose intolerance may be able to drink small amounts of milk or eat small amounts of milk-based products, such as cheese and yogurt, without experiencing symptoms. People who are highly intolerant to milk may be able to drink lactose-free milk, such as LACTAID or calcium-fortified soy or rice milk. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 12
12 HOW ARE FOOD ALLERGIES DIAGNOSED? Only a health care professional can diagnose the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance. It is very important to have a health care professional make a proper diagnosis. FOOD ALLERGY A food allergy is diagnosed based on the immune system s response or reaction after eating an offending food. FOOD INTOLERANCE A food intolerance is diagnosed based on the symptoms that occur after eating a specific food. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 13
13 Only about 3-6% of children have been diagnosed with food allergies. Proper diagnosis between a food allergy and a food intolerance is VERY IMPORTANT. Steps to a Food Allergy Diagnosis 1. Parents consult a health care professional. The health care professional reviews the child s medical history and conducts a complete physical exam. 2. Based on the recommendation from the health care professional, parents and child care providers/teachers monitor the foods the child eats. Food Diary daily record of food eaten Elimination Diet under medical supervision Food Challenges under medical supervision 3. The health care professional confirms the food allergy by conducting skin tests or other tests. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 14
14 WHAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES A CAREGIVER HAVE IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF A FOOD ALLERGY OR A FOOD INTOLERANCE? Important Steps 1. RECORD all foods/beverages for infants and toddlers even if food allergies are not suspected. Complete a daily food diary form for all infants and toddlers and record any reaction a child may have to foods or beverages. (EXAMPLES OF FOOD DIARIES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PRESENTATION) 2. REPORT to the parents any unusual reactions or symptoms a child has after eating a food or drinking a beverage. 3. SUPPORT the child s parents by following the recommendations of a health care professional if a child needs to be on an elimination diet. Remember to partner with parents as they introduce new foods to infants and toddlers. Parents need to introduce new foods at home. Only serve foods to infants and toddlers that have been tried at home. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 15
15 WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING FOOD ALLERGIES AND FOOD INTOLERANCES? 1. Avoid the Offending Food Eliminate offending foods from the child care program. For example, make your program NUT FREE if a child has an allergy to nuts. 2. Provide a Healthy Diet If a child has been diagnosed with a food allergy, a registered dietitian will indicate appropriate foods that can be substituted so that the child has a balanced diet. 3. Read Product Nutrition Labels Many foods have numerous names. Be aware of alternative names for ingredients in common foods. (REFER TO FOOD ALLERGY INFORMATION SHEETS HANDOUT) 4. Avoid Cross-Contamination Make sure food items, eating surfaces, and utensils do NOT come into contact with food to which a child has an allergy. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 18
16 5. Know Your Emergency Plan For any child with a diagnosed food allergy, make sure the parents give you a copy of the health care treatment plan and that you understand exactly what to do. For every child with a food allergy, create a child care emergency plan so that you know what to do in case the child has a reaction to an offending food. Practice emergency procedures and review them frequently. 6. Encourage All Children to Help Infants and toddlers may be unaware of food allergies and food intolerances, however, as children get older, they recognize that there are differences in what other children can or cannot eat. If you have children with allergies, make sure that older children understand that some of their friends have food allergies. Ask the children to help keep their friends safe from any foods that could make them sick. Practice what to do to keep children safe so that all children can be included in all eating and cooking activities together. Help children learn to use the words I m allergic to rather than just saying that they don t like a particular food. Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 19
17 7. Read and Understand Food Labels Reading labels is an effective way to identify which ingredients are in a product. Many foods have numerous names. Be AWARE of what to look for on food labels. (REFER TO FOOD ALLERGY INFORMATION SHEETS HANDOUT) Cow s Milk could be listed as: Casein or Caseinates Hydrolysates Lactalbumin, Lactalbumin Phosphate Lactoglobulin Lactose Rennet Casein Whey or Whey Powder Wheat could be listed as: Bran Bulgur Cracker Meal Durum Enriched Flour Farina Gluten Graham Flour Malt Modified Food Starch Semolina and more Food Allergy & Intolerance, Page 20
